Pokemon: Master of tactics
Chapter 203 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 203

4 days later, in a high-class hotel in Pewter City.

Alex was sitting on a couch while reading the report that Lisa had just sent him. ​​

This report was more concise than the other reports and only had one page of content.

Alex, therefore briefly confused, quickly understood the reason after he finished reading the report.

The subordinate who watched Daniel for 3 days wrote that he was unexpectedly discovered by Daniel on the last day despite not owning a Psychic-type Pokémon or seeing him directly.

The subordinate found Daniel moving quickly in his direction and quickly trying to catch him.

The subordinate luckily had a trick in store, so he could barely get out.

After this report, Lisa wrote that further observation does not make sense and that this is now his own problem.

Alex closed the report with a smirk on his face.

With the help of Lisa, he had learned about what happened to Daniel's parents. Details about his behavior in his orphanage were also sent to him by Lisa.

Although this report did not say how the parents treated Daniel, it was not difficult to guess. Especially when he read the name of the Pokémon species that killed his parents (judging by the corpses of Daniel's parents).

Alex was 99% sure that Daniel's parents abused Daniel, or, at least, Daniel hated his parents.

What Alex didn't understand was why Daniel had a negative attitude towards the Alliance. He found no particular reason written in the report. So his guess was that Daniel probably didn't like the orphanage that the Alliance had sent him up.

'Fortunately, I thought ahead, and I'm already in the same city as Daniel,' thought Alex as he called all his Pokémon to gather around.

The report was sent no longer than 10 minutes ago, so Daniel could not have gotten far with his Pokémon. Without the Flying-type Pokémon to carry him or the Psychic-type Pokémon to teleport, Daniel was really slow to travel.

Crobat, Scizor, and the other Pokémon soon gathered around Alex.

"Ditto, come and transform yourself back into the 'face'. As for everyone else, except Crobat, you all have to go back to your Pokéballs for the time being," said Alex with a heavy tone.

Alex didn't want to let Daniel know about his identity carelessly at first. So he also had to watch out which Pokémon he shows to Daniel.

Crobat was the best option because this Pokémon can often be seen with other Team Rocket members. Not to mention, Crobat was strong enough to defeat Daniel's entire team if the need arises.

Together with Ditto, who could save him from surprise attacks, these two Pokémon were more than enough.

After less than 5 minutes, Alex and Crobat landed about 500 meters from Daniel's apartment.

Crobat became a bit suspicious after checking out Daniel's house. He told Alex that Daniel was still in his house, making Alex suspicious too.

Alex showed a curious expression as he first thought, 'A trap or something else?'

He smiled as he mused about it.

After a few seconds, he called Gardevoir out of her Pokéball to make sure.

An Elite Psychic-type Pokémon, together with Ditto, are able to protect him 100% from all possible surprise attacks.

Although Alex is now showing two Pokémon from his tournament, it's just a little bit alike and nothing more. As long as he does not show Scizor, it shouldn't be a big problem. Especially since his Pokémon were much stronger now than they were in the tournament.

Crobat went in front of the group, and Alex and Gardevoir just behind him.

Alex walked with a calm and confident expression.

He knew from his reports that Daniel was not weak but has not yet reached Elite-rank. Even if he had reached Elite-rank, Alex doesn't think he and his team can lose to 1 or 2 weak Elite Pokémon.

In an emergency, he was still able to escape with his much better mobility.

Alex, who was only 5 meters away from Daniel's house, felt that it was too easy and that something was wrong.

He thought for a few seconds and called Bastiodon for double safety.

Bastiodon is the perfect target to activate the possible traps that Daniel might have prepared.

Alex is sure that Bastidon can probably take a hit from a level 55 Pokémon, let alone weaker ones.

Bastidon broke open the door of Daniel's house with his forearms and went through.

Fortunately, the door was built so big that large Pokémon like Bastiodon can come through the door.

Bastiodon went ahead, but it seemed that there were no traps in this house.

Gardevoir told Alex via [Telepathy] that a person with 3 Pokémon was in the room next to the entrance.

Alex chose to open the door this time without destroying it. As Alex's eyes fell into the room, he found Daniel sitting quietly on a chair, together with three Pokémon and looking in their direction with an expectant and vigilant look.

He immediately looked at the information from these 3 Pokémon.

When Alex read the information from Daniel Pokémon, especially the last one, he couldn't help but be amazed.

'Gold + Sniper (Hidden Ability) + (Innate Talent) Focus Energy is ridiculously rare. It's incredible that he only had used the Bronze Beedrill in the tournament before and had hidden such a good Pokémon,' thought Alex when he saw these Pokémon.

jo I also wanted to share a little info with you guys.

After 200 chapters are uploaded I think it would be good if new reviews are available for new readers. (the old ones are 4 or 6 months old.)

I will pin the top three so that they have a chance to be seen by everyone.

I'll wait three days before picking the top 3. (don't worry, i try to rate the review fairly, even if you have well-founded criticism.)
